Summary

Modern life has trained us to rely on logic, language, and endless mental chatter—but what if we’re missing half the picture? In this eye-opening episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Ginny Yurich sits down with bestselling author and psychologist Steven Biddulph to explore the forgotten power of the brain’s right hemisphere—our wild creature mind—and how reconnecting with it can transform anxiety, relationships, and well-being. They dive into body-based wisdom, gut feelings, and why emotions manifest physically, offering simple yet profound ways to help both kids and adults process stress, trauma, and overwhelm. Through movement, nature, and deep listening, we can unlock the intuitive, creative, and socially connected side of our brains that has been silenced for too long. If you’ve ever felt trapped in anxious thoughts or disconnected from yourself, this conversation will change how you think about your mind, body, and the way forward. ** Get your copy of Wild Creature Mind here Learn more about Steven Biddulph here ** Download your free 1000 Hours Outside tracker here >> https://www.1000hoursoutside.com/trackers Find everything you need to kick off your 1000 Hours Outside Journey here >> https://www.1000hoursoutside.com/blog/allthethings Order of copy of Ginny's newest book, Until the Streetlights Come On here >> https://amzn.to/3RXjBlN Learn more about your ad choices.
